I came across this really old Alien last night and was looking for some info as to its history.
Information that might help:
Both the trigger and the bar attaching the wires are made of plastic. The sheath does not have the word "Alien" sewn in like later models. The tubing around the thumb loop is supple, not the stiffer plastic used in later models.
Yup, not the Dimple of Death but actually a weep hole to allow the braze to be done properly. No idea why they stopped putting one in the head, but they did and then started having problems with contamination and underfilled joints.
